Blind, bought off, sold, and passed around like pretty little slave girls servicing the bloated corporate puppetmasters.

Gonna lose a rather substantial part of my income should SOPA come into force. Unfortunately, I can't do much about it because I'm not an American. So get your asses up and make sure I'll keep making money you fags.
RETRACTION : Activision are not on the list of supporters for SOPA, EA is. The point is still valid, however I'd like to apologise for incorrectly naming Activision. I mixed up the two publishers in my notes. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/ngd4r/i_work_in_news_this_is_how_...http://tinyurl.com/techdirtsopahttp://reddit.com/r/sopahttp://www.americancensorship.orghttp://tinyurl.com/universalcensorshttp://tinyurl.com/writetocongresshttp://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_internethttp://t.co/vIhyPU9zhttp://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/12/sopa-vote-delayed/https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/12/free-speechs-weak-links-under-internet-...

Jan. 14, 2012 Huffington post report about a favorable White House response to petitions opposing SOPA and PIPA: White House Will Not Support SOPA, PIPA
Don't celebrate yet... http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/ogyw7/i_am_very_happy_that_obama_has_come_out_against/
Similar to how Facebook can close your account with just one anonymous complaint from somebody, and you can't do anything about it. 1984 has finally arrived... only twenty-eight years late.

Original post: Ok after some people replied to this thread I decided that it needs a little update. Im now waiting for the admins to change the title of the post. but now its about the sites that are supporting the fight against SOPA / PIPA. Here goes: There are some really giants in the online world that are joining in today to show they support against SOPA / PIPA. Here are some examples: ______________________________________________________________ Wikipedia (english site only) total black-out http://en.wikipedia.org/ ______________________________________________________________ Google.com logo blackout (US only) http://www.google.com (only on the US version of google) Also there is a link to the petition on the front page, really nice. Would have loved if they removed the search function for just one day. Everyone in the world would know about SOPA / PIPA ______________________________________________________________ Reddit total blackout. http://www.reddit.com/ Nice nice nice... ______________________________________________________________ Minecraft.net total blackout http://www.minecraft.net/ Also really nice.
Motion Picture Ass of America has a very very big stake in getting SOPA passed in its most draconian form, and is throwing a lot of lobbying money at this effort. Today, chief of the MPAA and former Senator blasts the SOPA blackout protests. "A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals." Talk about disinformation. Here is the little threatened man's so-called website and his post - http://blog.mpaa.org/BlogOS/post/20...-Troubling-Developments-of-Blackout-Day-.aspx

Some sites are staying online, but posting alerts or notices for their users, urging them to take action to defeat SOPA and PIPA. Craigslist has already placed a prominent alert on its many metro hubs. Scribd, which calls itself the world’s largest online document repository, plans to activate an anti-SOPA/PIPA popup that visitors to its network will see when attempting to access documents. And OpenDNS, the world’s largest independent DNS provider, has announced it will join in the protest by randomly censoring results returned by the OpenDNS guide. Some participants are: WordPress The Internet Archive Diaspora Identi.ca Hacktivist group, Anonymous (whaa? okay forgive the website owner who posted this he knows not what he says) Reddit.com Tucows.com The entire Cheezburger Network Destructoid.comRed 5 Studios, developer of the Firefall MMO Mojang.com and Popular MMO, Minecraft NLB Creations– my own site Webmaster community Admin Forums Web design company, Skytemple.com Gaming site Video Game Generation Right Angle Recording All sites in Major League Gaming’s network GamingBus.com Errata Security XDA Developers Gaming site, GOG.com Hey It’s Free!– confirmed via email Harder Blogger Faster Colossal Mind Sonic Retro BrentAnderson.info Working It Out e-cloudy.com – confirmed via comments Seibertron.com NewGrounds Through the Eyes of a Pirate – confirmed via Pirate Party Cynical Brit Platform Nation Digital Suicide – confirmed via comments Kahn Labs Jamacast CryptoCat Joyblind – confirmed via email A Much Better Way – confirmed via comments [H]ard OCP Gaming Community – confirmed via comments GamersTube.comBoing Boing Inkerro – confirmed via comments The Weekly Gripe – confirmed via comments Leslie Networks – “We will not be preforming a full black out but will be displaying a SOPA message on our site and possibly more.” – via comments and Twitter WordPress for Business Websites – confirmed via comments Simply Fixed – confirmed via comments FriendStream – confirmed via comments TacticalCraft – confirmed via comments RedStoneHost.com – confirmed via comments EcchiDreams (link NSFW) – confirmed via comments RaGEZONE – confirmed via comments Raspberry Pi – confirmed via comments and site LazySlob1 GeNyaa – confirmed via comments Rational Responders – confirmed via comments Brian Sapient – confirmed via comments Celebrity Atheists – confirmed via comments Red Dawn Movie News Splitkick – via TwitterNerd ReactorStumble Down Under Sfera Hosting – confirmed via comments Tekeremata – confirmed via comments Secta Hentai (link NSFW) – confirmed via comments Partido Pirata – confirmed via comments Jovenes Piratas – confirmed via comments Pirata Salocin – confirmed via comments Amanecer Sombrio – confirmed via comments Kobra Photography – confirmed via comments Wikipedia – confirmed via TwitterSuper Seed Box – confirmed via comments YourDegree.com – confirmed via comments RootzWiki – confirmed via comments Regretsy - confirmed via FacebookLoganMifflin.com – confirmed via comments What Time In – confirmed via comments SubGurls.com – confirmed via comments NimBusters.com – confirmed via comments RivitCity.com – confirmed via commentsEclipse Guild – confirmed via commentsMobile Express DJs – confirmed via comments Shakespeare Monologues – confirmed via comments SandSite.org – confirmed via comments SandSecurity.org/ – confirmed via comments XBMC – confirmed via comments The Internet Archive – confirmed via comments Tecnomundo – confirmed via comments What can you do to show your support? Facebook users are also urged to protest by joining the “Stop Internet Censorship by Protesting SOPA event” and posting censored photo gallerys to their Facebook walls on the 18th. WordPress users wanting to join in the protest might find the SOPA Blackout plugin, which adds a temporary 503 status and customisable page to your site automatically. Blogspot users can easily show their support, too. Full list and other links here: http://nlb-creations.com/2012/01/13/websites-confirmed-for-the-jan-18-blackout-protesting-sopa/
